"Michael Wessel was one of the advisers who was asked by the US
government to review what he said were woefully inadequate portions of
the document.Wessel said the thrust of the TPP does nothing for Americans. “This is about increasing the ability of global corporations
to source wherever they can at the lowest cost,” he said.

“It is not about enhancing or promoting production in the United
States,” Wessel said.“We aren't enforcing today's trade agreements adequately.Look at China and Korea. Now we’re not only expanding trade
to a far larger set of countries under a new set of rules that have yet
to be tested but we’re preparing to expand that to many more countries.
It would be easier to accept if we were enforcing today’s rules.”
